The badges of dishonesty are everywhere.
Reminder:

SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."

Once again, they revised down the previous numbers. The economy LOST jobs in August, and I'm guessing they'll revise it down even further.

And they will revise 119,000 down in further releases as well. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/20/j...
Delayed September report shows U.S. added 119,000 jobs, more than expected; unemployment rate at 4.4%
Nonfarm payrolls were expected to add 50,000 in September, according to the Dow Jones consensus estimate.

This story is begging for more attention
Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.
